After scoring the winner in El Clasico, Cristiano Ronaldo is tipped by ESPN's projection model for more success this weekend. Lionel Messi, meanwhile, is also likely to score, according to the latest forecast.

Ronaldo and Real Madrid host Eibar on Saturday, with Messi and Barcelona visiting Real Sociedad later on the same day.

(Numbers for each player are based on him starting the game.)

Last season, Messi did not score against Real Sociedad and Ronaldo netted once against Eibar.

2015-16 total goals projection

Ronaldo remains the strong favourite to win the pair's head-to-head scoring battle over the course of the season.

Between them, Ronaldo and Messi have won the past six Pichichi awards, given to the leading scorer in La Liga.

2015-16 milestone projection

Messi missing two months of the season with injury decreased his chances to hit various goal landmarks. He is still predicted to end the season with an impressive haul, but Ronaldo is tipped for higher numbers.

"These projections account for the historical performance [goals scored and minutes played] of the two players since 2010, strength of opposing defences faced [measured by SPI defensive rating], game location, and the potential for injury or missing games. Based on these inputs, the predictor will estimate the chance of each player scoring any number of goals for each remaining game. From this, we can project the total number of goals scored, hat tricks and the chance of each player accruing more goals than the other over the course of the entire Liga season."
